In April 1992, a discovery was made that changed the way we view the world. He’s an absolute luminary. It’s asking questions that philosophers of science might ask, from the perspective of a physicist who is also informed as a philosopher. Brian, who is a friend of mine, is a physicist in England. In this groundbreaking book, the renowned theoretical physicist Lee Smolin argues that physics — the basis for all other sciences — has lost its way.

Why does the universe appear fine-tuned for life? Professor Brian Cox is back with another insightful and mind-blowing exploration of space. This account presents these theories in their historical contexts, from little known hypotheses from the past to modern developments such as the theory of superstrings, the anthropic principle and ideas of many universes, and uses them to problematize the limits of scientific knowledge. But the book is far more than a classic in the history of science. How can we make intelligent decisions about our increasingly technology-driven lives if we don’t understand the difference between the myths of pseudoscience and the testable hypotheses of science?

He examines the philosophical roots of controversies in the foundations of physics, and shows how they may be transformed as science moves towardunderstanding the universe as an interrelated, self-constructed entity, within which life and complexity have a natural place, and in which "the occurrence of novelty, indeed the perpetual birth of novelty, can be understood.". Six years later, continuing research by Hubble and others forced Albert Einstein to renounce his own cosmic model and finally accept the astonishing fact that the universe was not immobile but instead expanding.
